has anyone tried the profile from Kent Cams for the zxr?
if not, what cams would people recommend? oh, and at some point i'm planning a 444cc overbore.
(and what does "FFS" mean on the smilies panel on the right?!)
Gav
Edit: Speaking of which, anyone tried the +3mm overbore to get 444cc? I've seen the kit on tts performance, bout £600. Thoughts?

kent cams?
I do 700 miles a week in all weathers including snow, that's roughly 35,000 miles a year, and some weekend warrior biker has the nerve to get out of his Audi at work to tell me to I was riding far too fast in the wet (over taking at 50... fast eh?).

Re: kent cams?
 means............... for **** sake
the little stars replace a four letter word begining in f and ending in k that looks a little like a certain designer label
I believe it's an expression of frustration for whatever reason
never used Kent cams......................and 3mm oversize is not legal for racing so I've not ever considered it

Re: kent cams?
i've seen these SP cams mentioned alot, i assume SP isn't a brand, it refers to pinching the cams of an SP version on the zxr?
